Rabbit studies the marks left by fingertips in the soil, frowning slightly, then rubs an arm and simply listens, trying to ignore the pull of sleepiness. No, I am worthy, but this vision was not intended for me: I am meant to do something else.

"Moses would be glad if you were to join him."
Moses nods at Art.

Art nodded at Wovoka's response. [Language unknown: "N mi stpati roha Korcomshe andes ers il Stievetha Ent Haoupoha rat Rolaca. Ic heul for es pr asnd arhe is ine k eewit notivefor tianwh lin Fichca Erswasnce."]

He then looked over at Eagles Floating with a smile for his old friend. [Language unknown: "Mo reesai prosetoutmenwer ro nties ho ect ofarec."] He looked around at the group. [Language unknown: "Astsi ouceis il beweee red olecpr butpe taand a th ilri laadpe? He n iorom hethwa ant sa as o m ho oltha, il Ev reslinate evoful mome alpral ioons hisprostr lini."]

[Language unknown: "Lar thatinwer, si na his p a u i icaanyera: io In ho icate foerof chevwh mi, Ie ashi is ssroes hastioout il m heie a a eniest ivacos ilit,"] Rabbit observes, since those of the Lakota faction of the Dance around don't seem keen, either.

The shamans nod, and preparations are made.

((OOC: Alrighty. So are you guys acquiring horses for the journey?))

Art nodded at Rabbit's response, and none other seemed forthcoming. Once it appeared that no others wished to join, Art walked over and crouched down by Eagles Floating on Gentle Breezes.  [Language unknown: "Ck li chashi whe t ncnano inic in anse n sano iles ichwerave."]

OOC: Yes, I think horses would be a good idea.

[Language unknown: "Ch witdaysom, Thalesnde Trashestisan Of Oer Ioustiich Ee."] The old shaman says. The two move off from the main camp a short distance. [Language unknown: "Ar eitangun san?"]

Art looked around to be certain nobody was around, and then used his newfound hearing acuity to be further certain they were out of earshot. Once as certain as he could be that they were alone, Art turned his attention to his old friend. [Language unknown: "Reaounthe eraectherore pl artncecom, ulek Ri enc staeveect ho a ca e iv houhatove si O pasilo.

[Language unknown: "Ev k urnte asion butpo der ie out atiherrat atna ateksa Ndeoursom Entlatnti,"] Eagles Floating says, "But I understand your reasons. I thank you for telling me this, but you should let Wovoka, at least, know this as well. You can put your faith in him."

Art nodded at what Eagles Floating had to say, and he responded again in hushed tones. [Language unknown: "Nt st artomelin n butwheest elofen ceseas, ect bediwi sathu somti icaresbut naie.

Eagles Floating sits back, the air of instruction falling over him as Art has seen many times in the past. [Language unknown: "Eveforers hest acho dinarestr.

He pauses, and gathers his thoughts. [Language unknown: "Il illfo p a icri yindi.

He nodded again at Eagles Floating's instructions concerning communication once they had reached the Spirit World. [Language unknown: "E antpl thean ee sieiha on yinessnce tear, e one ioprti."]

The shaman considers this. [Language unknown: "Ta eteen. K hooses nost tin ons Onerutint yin romur th nooful ee e arma.

Art nodded at his mentor of many years and tapped at his breast as he began to speak. [Language unknown: "Fopr llutth ncave haspo ri for, on und itany ushou pr k manoutdin un ho thi wemail.

Eagles Floating nods. [Language unknown: "Eau whi lesurenti.

Art nodded at the request from the wise shaman. [Language unknown: "O areut hoee ar hoive Arelne Erplhameli me ou ss bletholar et esol ers pro astee derfo t esssomate.

[Language unknown: "Chalme ss inmen lidiur o ughsanestanyate ca ituses n."] Eagles Floating replies. [Language unknown: "Pocala Out olmaee oswe ncna rea romstioun eauul omchev Oveouneau etcksiro be. O ri nti t ut an us ng trilol o plith nc an out Verherers Indiseal-mond hant atet eauoutter."]

Art nodded at Eagles Floating's response, satisfied that the name was not a concern. [Language unknown: "Oferos ca, wh ticbuteve, pete pestr sti, evwhe andverstivir, lin thobe ncacac.

((OOC: Shall we skip to the next day, then? Just let me know all the preparations you and Moses are making, and I'll open up a Chapter 5 thread for you guys.))

((OOC: Moses will meditate and speak to the Lord, seek counsel and guidance. He'll also speak to his flock and make sure they understand that they are seeking the Woman Who Remembers The Future to show the Ravenite that he's on the wrong path.
He'll also say good bye for now to Screaming Rabbit, probably saying or doing something that makes her slightly uncomfortable - like gently touching her shoulder or something. :-) ))

[[Rabbit'll duck back and turn it into a formal forearm-clasp if she sees it coming - Mose might even get a very, very nervous hug if there's no-one else about, though she'll tell him to stop if the response is 'squash Rabbit!'/he holds too long.]]

OOC: Skipping ahead is fine with me. Art will speak quietly with Wovoka about the bits of information Art withheld when he originally told his story and his reasons for doing so. Art will also try to gather what supplies can be spared, and horses if possible. He will look for appropriate, hooded attire. He will say his farewells to any of the Cheyenne that have survived. And provide his thanks to his Lakota teachers, Horn Chips and Laughing Calf, as well as to Wovoka and Eagles Floating. Art will wish Rabbit well on whatever journey the spirits have called for him to undertake. He will listen to whatever guidance the other Ghost Dancers wish to share, and listen for anything that the spirits might have to say.

This thread is now closed. Art and Moses, resume posting on the Chapter 5.2: An Occurrence At Deadwood Gulch thread. Rabbit, when you and John Truman are done with your bit, I'll make a Chapter 5.3 thread.

I can't see the 5.2 thread. Is it in a group to which I don't have access?

Nope, I'm still writing it.
